An average American believes that American Football is more manly and better than Rugby because, in American Football, the players are required to wear a lot of protection due to the violent tackles that occur during a regular game, hence displaying the level of danger the players are willing to put themselves in, which in the eyes of football lovers is a display of masculinity. A typical British man would argue otherwise because, in Rugby, the players do not wear any protection so they are more vulnerable to injuries, but this makes a rugby player braver and more masculine than American football. The British view American football players as weaklings for reason that they require protection and is seen as inferior to Rugby player.
